KVM x86/xen: add an override for PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT

Unless explicitly told to do so (by passing 'clocksource=tsc' and
'tsc=stable:socket', and then jumping through some hoops concerning
potential CPU hotplug) Xen will never use TSC as its clocksource.
Hence, by default, a Xen guest will not see PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT set
in either the primary or secondary pvclock memory areas. This has
led to bugs in some guest kernels which only become evident if
PVCLOCK_TSC_STABLE_BIT *is* set in the pvclocks. Hence, to support
such guests, give the VMM a new Xen HVM config flag to tell KVM to
forcibly clear the bit in the Xen pvclocks.
